Here is my model of a Mister Softee ice cream truck. They are seen in New York and New Jersey. It is modeled after the actual truck that comes to my neighborhood. It is a resin kit of a Chevy Kurbmaster that had only the body, chassis, wheels, tires and cheap rear and front ends. I added the engine, transmission, exaust, fuel tank, front and rear ends from other kits. All this took about 80 hour's to build. A lot of modafications went into this model. I had to cut out the space for the engine because it was molded as a solid block. The decals were made on my computer. I took pictures of the truck and loaded them into a program called Picture It. The program allows you shrink the picture to any scale. They are printed on clear label paper then sprayed with clear spray paint. I also added a music box that plays the actual Mister Softee jingle. They sell a small diecast toy that has the music box in it. I removed it and put it into my model. This model is my third attempt at this truck and I got it perfect this time.
